I thought about a comment I made in my last post about being 27, which was how I don't generally get personal on here. Well, a) that's not entirely true, and b) why not? The internet has no shortage of people saying shit, most of which is inane or trite or both, so if I've got a more interesting than average story to share, should I? Part of me would say that the true personal communication is in the music, and while I would like Dorian Green content to be what stands out most, I don't see why I'd forgo any opportunities with the written word if it conveys a worthwhile message. Furthermore, I've already acknowledged living in a world oversaturated with music, much of which matching the internet criteria from above, so I do have to offer something more to go with the music.
But what type of personal information would I share on here, and why? It is tempting to better explain a background story to accompany the music, and the creation of both the music and the person. And maybe that will all be of interest at some point, but it feels like the most useful personal thing I could discuss is spirituality or religion, which is a surprising change of perspective from long ago when I would have thought that idea completely inappropriate. But I like the idea for a few reasons... When people remain amicable about discussing their personal beliefs, everyone benefits by adding to their perspective. I still maintain the belief that none of the world's major religions have life totally figured out, but a lot of individuals have reached an understanding that allows them a continuous and genuine comfort with their being. Everyone can learn from these people, but the major idea is that everyone is capable individually of reaching this understanding. And while I will reserve a better explanation of what I consider to be my understanding, I will say that I think it is a good idea for faith to be grounded in experience and rational explanations. I really do think this is possible, because I have witnessed so many who have done it. But enough about me...
